Windows security center is telling me that “Malware protector is turned off” even though it is on. It also says that I do not have anti-virus software when I do. |

Windows security center is telling me that “Malware protector is turned off”
even though it is on. It also says that I do not have anti-virus software when I do. Someone has suggested that my "wmi repository is not consistent" but I am "denied access" when I run CMD as the administrator and then enter "winmgmt/verifyrepository" to find out if this is so and "winmgmt/salvagerepository" to sort it out. How do I get access? The problem goes beyond the "security" issue. I also cannot install some downloaded patches from Microsoft and when I try to follow up on the error numbers I again come back to “CMD”. |

Warren,
You need to locate cmd.exe, *right* click it, and choose 'Run as administrator' - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555962 MowGreen [MVP 2003-2008] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== Warren wrote: > Windows security center is telling me that “Malware protector is turned off” > even though it is on.
